And in this day and age, you have – I mean girls are growing up with so much pressure with social media, what they're seeing, these very perfected images of grown women that they have to compare themselves to.

And in the midst of all that, I was like, I'm not even – I don't even feel like I'm that feminine.

I don't like wearing makeup.

I don't like the feminine things that a lot of other girls do.

Why am I even going through this?

Adam Carolla Show
Chloe Cole on Transitioning as a Child & Why She’s Now Warning Parents

What is the point of going through all this if I don't feel like I'm enough as a woman?

Not a little bit younger actually and came out with the same outcome.

And everywhere I've gone, I've met somebody who's either struggling with this or they know somebody who is struggling with it, but they don't know how to really help them.

And I think what it really comes down to is Internet influence.

Adam Carolla Show
Chloe Cole on Transitioning as a Child & Why She’s Now Warning Parents

I think that, sure, media and even sometimes one's family might be influencing them into questioning these things.

Adam Carolla Show

But I think the...

I think the most prominent influence in the lives of these children who become confused about their sex and about their bodies is the influence of the internet.
